Whether you\u2019re joining friends for a 4th of July bash in a park or bravely attempting to make brunch with your kids at home, no party would be complete without some canap\u00e9s to accompany the fun. These three delicious recipes will keep all ages of partygoers happy. Just pop a bottle of champagne and a bottle of sparkling apple cider and let the celebrations begin!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Goug\u00e8res<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">These classic French cheese puffs are not difficult to make, but look so impressive that the other guests will think you\u2019ve been slaving away all night long! They also make the ultimate party food as they freeze well, so can be baked weeks ahead, then warmed up with a few minutes in the oven. Make a double batch and keep some in the freezer for whenever you have unexpected guests pop by.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><em><span class=\"s1\">Makes about 4 dozen goug\u00e8res<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Ingredients<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">7 tablespoons unsalted butter<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">1 cup water<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">1 teaspoon salt<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">5 eggs<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">1 cup grated <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gruy%C3%A8re_cheese\">Gruy\u00e8re<\/a> cheese<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Freshly ground pepper<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Instructions<\/h4>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Heat oven to 450\u00b0 and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Place butter, water, and salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the flour and stir continuously for 2 minutes. (The mixture will form a ball as the water evaporates, but keep stirring for the full two minutes.) Transfer mixture to a stand mixer and mix with the paddle attachment for around a minute to cool it down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Add eggs one at a time and mix on medium speed until the dough has completely incorporated, around 5 minutes. Add the cheese, season with pepper, then mix for 30 more seconds. Transfer a quarter of the mixture to a pastry bag (or a ziploc bag with a corner snipped off) and pipe the dough into roughly 1-tablespoon mounds on the baking sheet, leaving about an inch between each. Refill the pastry bag as needed and repeat until all dough has been piped out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Place trays in the oven and bake for 8 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350\u00b0 and bake for a further 20 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. If not eating right away, cool on a rack and store in an airtight container, then warm for a few minutes in oven before serving.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">(Note: If baking ahead, freeze on a flat tray, then transfer to a ziploc bag. When ready to eat, bake at 350\u00b0 for around 5 minutes.)<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>British Sausage Rolls<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Move over, pigs in blankets, these little sausage-stuffed pastries are coming across the pond to become a firm favorite Stateside too. They make an easy (and delicious) way to get protein into our kids\u2019 bellies at parties, and are equally good hot, cold, or at room temperature. They also make a perfect picnic food, and are great popped into a school lunchbox.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><em><span class=\"s1\">Makes 24 sausage rolls<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Ingredients<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">2 cups all-purpose flour<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u00bd teaspoon salt<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">1 stick unsalted butter, cut into small \u00bc\u201d cubes and chilled in the freezer for a few minutes<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u00bd cup ice water<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">2 lbs good quality bulk pork sausage (or bulk chicken sausage)<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional)<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage (or your favorite seasoning)<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Salt and freshly ground pepper<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">1 egg, beaten<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Instructions<\/h4>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Heat oven to 375\u00b0 and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><b style=\"font-family: Georgia, serif;\">Timesaving tip: Store-bought frozen puff pastry makes a fine substitute. Just thaw then roll out on a floured surface<\/b><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, serif;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, serif;\">To make your own pastry:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Place flour and salt in a large bowl. Add butter and rub into flour with your fingers until mixture resembles rough breadcrumbs. Add ice water and mix well until dough forms a rough, sticky ball. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and form into a rough square around 1\u201d thick. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour or overnight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Place sausage, parsley and sage (or other seasoning) in a bowl, season with salt and pepper, then mix well. On a lightly floured surface, roll pastry out to a rectangle around 9\u201d by 24\u201d. Cut lengthwise then crosswise to form 4 equal rectangles. Place \u00bc of the sausage mixture in the center of each rectangle in a long and even strip, reaching from end to end. Wrap both sides of the dough around the center strip of sausage, and press edges together to seal. Flip so the log of dough is seam side down, then cut into 6 pieces. Place on lined baking sheet, then repeat with other three rectangles of dough.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Brush tops with the beaten egg, then place in oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until pastry is golden on top and sausage is cooked through.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Blue Cheese Savory Cookies<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">These elegant little bites are the perfect blend of sweet and savory, and make a great accompaniment to a cheese plate (or just by themselves). The blue cheese is blended into the pastry, giving every bite a subtle cheesy hint, and the jam on top adds a pleasing sweet and tangy note. Kids find these little thumbprint &#8220;cookies&#8221; hard to resist, so be sure to make plenty!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><em><span class=\"s1\">Makes around 3 dozen<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Ingredients<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u00bd cup butter, at room temperature<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">1 cup all-purpose flour<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">4 ounces blue cheese crumbles (or crumbly goat cheese works just as well if that\u2019s your preference)<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Freshly ground pepper<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u00bc cup apricot jam<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Instructions<\/h4>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, serif;\">Heat oven to 350\u00b0 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Cut the butter into small cubes. Place the butter, flour and cheese in the bowl of a food processor (or mixer), \u00a0then season with pepper. Blend until the dough starts to form a ball and will hold together when pressed between your fingers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Lightly flour a working surface, then knead the dough for a few minutes. Roll dough out to around 1\/8\u201d thick, then cut out with a small cookie cutter and place on baking sheet (lightly dusting the surface with flour if it gets sticky). Use your thumb to make a small indentation in the center of each, then spoon around \u00bc teaspoon of the jam in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Place trays in oven and bake for around 12-14 minutes, until golden and cooked through. Cool on a rack and either eat straight away or store in an airtight container.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three recipes kids will love to make (and eat!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1157,"featured_media":56170,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1332,340],"tags":[2041],"class_list":["post-7030","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-holidays-events-traditions-recipes-shopping","category-healthy-fast-kid-friendly-recipes","tag-birthday-treats"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.0 (Yoast SEO v26.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>3 Crowd-Pleasing Party Appetizers for Any Celebration<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Hosting a party?
